Description: >
  Detects revocation of Databricks access tokens. Token revocation may be routine
  credential rotation or could indicate an attacker covering their tracks after
  using a compromised token.
Runbook: |
  1. Verify the token revocation was intentional and authorized
  2. Check if the token was recently created or used from unusual IPs
  3. Look for preceding suspicious activity associated with this token

Detection logic

Condition

serviceName eq "accounts"
actionName eq "revokeDbToken"

Indicators

Each row is a field, operator, and value that the rule matches. The corpus column counts how many other rules in the catalog look for the same combination: high numbers point to widely-used, community-vetted indicators. Blank or 1 shows that the indicator is specific to this rule.

FieldKindValues
actionNameeq
  • revokeDbToken
serviceNameeq
  • accounts

Output fields

Fields the rule emits when it matches. Chronicle authors list these in the outcome block; they appear on the detection and $risk_score drives alerting. Sentinel / Defender XDR rules build them up through project / summarize / extend stages. Sentinel maps these into alert fields via entityMappings and customDetails; Defender XDR custom detections surface them as alert fields directly.
